Explanations:

have been - Present perfect continuous tense is used here to describe an ongoing action that began in the past and continues to the present ("have been busy").
is - Simple present tense, as "tomorrow" refers to a scheduled event in the near future.
have you ever heard - Present perfect tense to ask about experiences up until now.
have - Simple present tense is used to describe a regular occurrence (school proms).
have just finished - Present perfect tense indicating a recent completion of an action relevant to the present.
dresses up - Simple present tense is used here since it is a habitual action.
dance - Simple present, as it describes what happens during the event.
have been looking forward to - Present perfect continuous indicating anticipation that has been happening over time up until now.
have found - Present perfect tense indicating that the action of finding is relevant to the present context (having the dress ready for prom).
starts - Simple present tense, indicating a scheduled action (the start time of the event).
is picking me up - Present continuous tense describes a planned future action.
am feeling - Present continuous tense used here to express a current state of emotion (nervousness).

Each tense is selected based on whether the action is happening now, occurred at a specific time in the past, is habitual, or is planned for the future.
